Secondary aortoenteric fistula is a potentially lethal complication after aortic surgery. Traditional treatment consists of open graft excision with extra-anatomic bypass or in situ reconstruction. Patients who present in extremis, however, are generally poor candidates for re-do open aortic surgery. Endovascular repair has emerged as an alternative treatment modality for patients who would otherwise be unable to tolerate an extended operation. We report here a case of urgent endovascular repair of a juxtarenal secondary aortoenteric fistula via endovascular aneurysm repair with a renal artery chimney in a patient with a solitary kidney who presented in hemorrhagic and septic shock.

An a (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition where an abnormal connection forms between the aorta and the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the duodenum. It can be primary (arising spontaneously due to an aortic aneurysm or infection) or secondary (complicating prior vascular surgery). Immediate recognition and surgical intervention are critical to manage severe gastrointestinal bleeding and prevent fatal outcomes.

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for infectious aortic diseases.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent TEVAR for infectious aortic diseases including infected thoracic aortic aneurysm, aortobronchial fistula (ABF), and aortoenteric fistula from December 2011 to October 2022 at 4 institutions were retrospectively studied. The primary outcome of the study was overall survival, whereas the secondary outcome was comprehensive adverse events.

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with metastatic colorectal cancer being treated with Bevacizumab and FOLFOX, who came to the emergency department with haematemesis. Gastroscopy showed a duodenal ulcer without active bleeding. Subsequently, he suffered haemodynamic instability and an Angio-CT scan revealed an aortoenteric fistula, requiring urgent surgery.

Objective: Primary aorto-enteral fistula (PAEF) is a connection between the gastrointestinal tract and the aorta that occurs without previous aortic surgery. The aetiological factors include, but are not limited to, aneurysm, infection, and tumours. It is a life threatening condition if untreated and requires emergency vascular surgical repair.

Article Synopsis
- Primary aortoenteric fistulas (AEF) are uncommon, typically caused by atherosclerotic aortic aneurysms.
- Mycotic aortic aneurysms that lead to primary AEF are extremely rare; this report focuses on a case involving a Salmonella-related mycotic aneurysm.
- The article discusses the challenges in diagnosing and treating this rare condition.
